About This Mandolin

Eastman MD805/v Mandolin

The Eastman MD805/v mandolin is an A-Style, F-Hole model featuring a Solid Adirondack Spruce Top and Solid Maple back and sides. Known for having more treble attack and percussive “chop” than oval hole instruments, the Eastman MD805/v F-hole mandolin is the first choice in ensemble settings where volume competition can be an issue.

Eastman's Antique Varnish Series has something for everyone. The finish is made to look "Vintage" and the hardware is from the "Relic Series" - you will have a new mandolin with an old vibe. From solid body electrics to mandolins, you’ll have a hard time not falling in love with one of these handmade instruments.
